On the Same Day in March

On the Same Day in March: A Tour of the World's Weather by Marilyn Singer (with illustrations by Frane Lessac)




'in Paris, France

The sun slips out, still winter pale.
But all over the city,
at bus stops and markets,
on small streets and grand boulevards,
people hurrying to work or school,
people, huddled in their coats and scarves,
sitting at outdoor cafes and sipping chocolat-
all of them turn up their faces
to enjoy the sun's shy smile.

The Science Festival

Today we went to the Science Festival. Sunnyboy enjoyed lots of the activities, especially looking at leaves through a microscope and playing with corn flour non-Newtonian slime. He also made a mini wind turbine,


and some some pva glue and borax slime.

A conversation about colours

A conversation we had today after Sunnyboy picked a Cadbury's Roses chocolate with a green wrapper.

Sunnyboy - "I'll have the green one. I like green. Do you like green mama?"
Me - "Yes, I like green."
Sunnyboy - "I like yellow too. Do you like yellow mama?"
Me - "Yes, I like yellow."
Sunnyboy - "I like pink too. Do you like pink mama?"
Me - "Yes, I like pink."
Sunnyboy - "And I like blue. Do you like blue mama?"
Me - "Yes, I like blue."
Sunnyboy - "Nok Tok is blue mama."
Me - "Oh yes. Nok Tok is blue and De Li is pink."
Sunnyboy - "Yes mama and the Incredible Hulk is green."
